Codenvy

Codenvy's on-demand developer workspaces are replicable, collaborative and constraint-free*. These workspaces improve workflow and automate developer bootstrapping in order to supercharge the agile ethos. The pre-built environments support almost every language and stack, and it can be run behind your firewall. It can be connected to your systems and projects, in order to remove configuration maintenance from development. Codenvy can be deployed to your own datacenter or any cloud service you choose.

Developer Bootstrapping
Developers spend on average >30% of their time managing workspaces. Organizations with high attrition, rotating contractors, and restricted systems face additional hurdles. Codenvy replaces wikis and manual methods with a single URL, which allows any authorized user to gain instant edit/build/debug access to a software project without installing any software at all.

Agile Development
Developers only usually receive feedback after their code is merged. This unfortunately creates badly timed feedback loops, which waste cycles and violate the original premise of the agile development philosophy. Codenvy workspaces enable real time feedback, driven by the developer, which shorten development cycles.

Workspace Management
Usually, de-centralized workspaces lack security controls, code chain of custody tracking, and thrash local computers. By using Codenvy, source code is never downloaded to user devices; all access is tracked and execution of workspaces occurs in an elastic cluster, which doesn't thrash or block under load.
